So I was taking my kids to the park next to an area high school last night and saw the typical crew of about 10 HS XC guys running on the trail.
A guy at the end of the pack was bouncing a tennis ball while running. They did happen to be running beside a tennis court at the time, but it still struck me as odd.
Was he that bored? Does his daddy make him run so he won't be fat like his diabetic uncle? Was his coach trying to get him to have better hand/eye coordination for some weird reason? What the?
